Hello I Must Be Going
Dir by Todd Louiso

The wonderful thing about this film and what makes it truly special is the way the comedy is so embedded in the neurosis of the lead character, played with such an honest nakedness by Melanie Lynskey. I”m not kidding when I say nearly every line is a laugh line but it never feels put on or false, and that’s a credit owed entirely to her performance. It’s a dangerous line to walk, but she’s successful. Blythe Danner gives a knockout performance as the mother of a woman who has not lived up to her expectations. Todd Louiso directs the film so sensitively and you can totally see bits of his persona in the lead character. A plus!
